wave rally hit the shelves yesterday. the eidos ps2 game lets players take the drink on souped-up jet skis. the game features four modes of play: arcade, championship, freestyle, and head-to-head (a two-player split-screen game). races take place in locations around the world, including florida beaches and the canals of venice. the game uses advanced water physics to crank up the realism a few notches and relies heavily on tricks for re-playability. check out the details out the eidos site.

the gamegeek section-(2:35pm est wed nov 28 2001)is lacking when it comes to console coverage. this game can barely hold a candle to wave race:blue storm. actually, it can't.

splashdown should be a better ps2 water racer though… – by madmaxmedia

news(6:35pm est wed nov 28 2001)is this the news section? that looks alot like an advertisement. – by phipsi

nintendo is in a much better position than sega was, although you can draw parallels.

nintendo had a subpar showing with the n64, but it was no sega saturn, or 32x, or sega cd…sega didn't just lose consumer confidence in their company, they actively stomped it out before releasing the dreamcast.– by madmaxmedia

how?(6:28am est sun dec 30 2001)hey, will anyone tell me how to do some of the tricks in wave rally? – by ashley

re: how?(8:06pm est sun jan 06 2002)i've surfed the web but could not find any info on tricks… i have found out a few such as the mega back flip and barrel rolls, on the hood and bird, also the super man and the all popular submarine.

backflip: go on a ramp and press forward, forward, down+square while accelerating.

mega backflip: do a backflip on the waves in the water.

barral rolls: in the water press left, left, right+square and you should do a right barral roll. vis versa for left barral roll.

on the hood: in the water press l1+r1 and press down and up.

bird: do on the hood and press l1+r1.

superman: go on a ramp/wave and hold l1+r1.

submarine: go on a ramp/wave and hold forward.

please spread this info onto other people. – by lostsoul
